UPDATED NOTE: The most current webinar on BAT is Intro to BAT 3.0. The techniques in this webinar are still valid, but I highly recommend watching the 3.0 webinar first or instead of this one. I've left this in the courses for Diamond members to watch for historical purposes.
Description: Does your dog bark, growl, even bite dogs or other people? Or maybe he cowers in the corner?
In this on-demand webinar, you will learn about BAT 2.0, a technique to teach your dog to be more comfortable and socially appropriate. This modern dog training approach is based on increasing empowerment, allowing dogs to have space and time to feel safe enough to offer prosocial behavior. Depending on your experience with dogs and your dog’s level of aggression or fear, you might also want to hire a local Certified BAT Instructor.

Read MoreI am finding that the more I teach BAT techniques early in my relationship with clients, even when the dog does not need it, the basic relationship between dog and owner is much smoother and more connective! I work with a lot of adolescent dogs though, who come from semi-feral or neglected histories. Because I live in an area with extreme poverty, and cultural differences regarding human/animal relationships, many dogs end up in local shelters who have had little to no positive human interaction, and most of them are in that sort of "teenage" stage of life, where they are taking many more risks and pushing boundaries. While normal, it can present a specific challenge in a dog with notions that humans may not be the best and who have learned to survive without human interaction, and adoptive owners are often not prepared for the challenges! BAT 2.0 has stepped up to help me build a lasting and wonderful relationship in most cases for these situations! I am very grateful!

The presentation part is just over one hour, and the video includes an hour of Q&A.
You also get a bonus video! I taught a similar presentation in Alaska and you'll get to see the 1.5 hour recording of that seminar for a slightly different perspective on the technique.
As soon as you register, you'll be able to watch this informative, practical video. You'll get tips on how to manage walks, how to set your dog up for success, and how to arrange training scenarios to teach your dog to be more resilient.
You'll also get PDF notes of the Powerpoint from the presentation and a quick quiz for understanding. The quiz also allows us to issue a certificate if you are a professional and need CEUs.
